Inyanga Marine Energy Group Announces Winners of Contracts for 20 MW HydroWing Tidal Energy Array

Inyanga Marine Energy Group has revealed the recipients of contracts for the construction of its 20 MW HydroWing tidal energy array at Morlais off Anglesey in Wales. The company has chosen the contractors for its tidal energy pilot project, scheduled for deployment in the first quarter of 2026.

Among the selected contractors, Hutchinson Engineering has been assigned the task of fabricating the foundation and rear nacelle. PPI Engineering will handle the design and production of the generator and generator housing to ensure efficient power generation. RMSpumptools will develop a customized 11KV Wet-Mate Connector System, while Involution Technologies will design and manufacture the main shaft unit incorporating a 3:1 gearbox.

Iconsys has secured a contract for systems integration for power management, and Eire Composites will manufacture carbon fiber blades. Inyanga has also enlisted the services of Prysmian, an Italian cable maker, for the production of export cables.

The project will be executed at Morlais off Anglesey in Wales, which stands as the only tidal energy demonstration zone of its kind globally. This location offers a unique ‘plug and play’ model for developers of tidal energy devices, aiding in cost reduction as operations are scaled up. The Anglesey site has the potential to generate 240 MW of clean electricity.

Richard Parkinson, CEO of Inyanga Marine Energy Group, commented on the contract awards, stating, “Each of our contracts were awarded following a rigorous tender process. The winning contractors are all best in class and have proven themselves capable of delivering advanced technology at the cutting edge. The majority are based in the UK. Our patented HydroWing technology is poised to demonstrate the viability of tidal energy and establish Wales and the UK as global leaders in renewable energy.”
